Descriptions of locations that I have been photographing.
(click on photo to enlarge) I had the opportunity to spend some more time at the Bird Runner Refuge Sunday, this time for an overnight stay. I took the time late in the afternoon to wander around the refuge and ended up near one of the ponds as the sun was just starting to dip…
(click on photo to enlarge it) This is one photograph out of a timelapse sequence I shot this past weekend. I was shooting near the scenic overlook on Carnahan Road looking toward Tuttle Creek Lake. I normally have a difficult time staying in one location for very long when I’m out with my camera, I’ve…
(click on photo to enlarge it) This is a photograph of a trail in part of a wooded area at Bird Runner Refuge. The colors in the woods at Bird Runner were fantastic on my last visit there, especially the smaller trees and bushes. I’m not exactly sure why Fall seems to scream “go outside” so…
(click on photo to enlarge) I’ve had the opportunity to take several walks through wooded areas around Manhattan over the last few weeks. With the cooler temperatures and changing colors Fall is a great time for a walk in the woods. The photo above was made along the Cottonwood Trail in the Riverponds campground…
This past Friday my wife and I had the opportunity to go for a walk at Konza Prairie. After the brutal summer we had this year, the recent cooler temperatures have been very welcome and Friday was just about perfect weather-wise for a walk on the prairie. When I first got into photography I spent…
This past weekend I had the chance to spend an evening out under the stars with my camera. For the past few years I’ve really been smitten with photographing the Milky Way, especially if I can incorporate some terrestrial elements in the scene. I sound like a broken record when I say things like this,…
Last weekend my Dad and I spent some time exploring some country roads in Washington County, starting off on All American Road. This was the third time Dad and I had been in the area of All American Road. The first two times we had stopped for sunset at the intersection of All American Road…
So those of you reading my blog (all 3 of you!) know that I like photographing locations I’m familiar with and one those locations is “the rocks” in the Spillway State Park on Tuttle Creek Lake. I’m not really sure if I could say exactly what it is about this particular place other than I…
Back in May I had the chance to do some exploring down around the Matfield Green – Cassoday area of the Flint Hills with fellow photographers Dave Leiker, Jeff Heidel, and Chris Soupene. I had only been down around this area a couple of times and then only to the area immediately around Teter Rock.…
I haven’t posted photos from any of my photo trips out to the Bird Runner Refuge since last May so I thought I would share a few from my most recent outing to the refuge. I’ve been shooting on Bird Runner just shy of a year and a half now and while I haven’t made it…
